Ye Han, a hard-drinking, lustful rogue from the bustling back alleys, is in truth the sole survivor of the Xuantian Sword Sect, wiped out fifteen years ago. When he accidentally saves an undercover agent from the Tingxue Tower and is dragged into the disputes of the martial world, a legendary wuxia tale unfolds, one where laughter conceals pain and cunning is his answer to danger. From a streetwise nobody who plays the pig to eat the tiger to a martial arts legend wielding the Nine Heavens True Scripture, Ye Han will eventually understand that even the sharpest sword can never cut through the web fate has woven.
